Welcome to Piffi Biff..our cottage on Southport Island and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean This photo is one of my favorite spots in the house that I call the breakfast nook A great place to start the day

As I mentioned we are located on the Atlantic Ocean and you can see that our home stands out in red

On cool Maine evenings you can enjoy a crackling fire and I usually lay down on the carpet and read a book. With plenty of seating most folks move the seating around to whatever is comfortable. We`re two stories and you can see the stairs to the 2nd floo

Like most areas in the house you can see that the dining area has plenty of natural light. You can comfortably fit 8 at the table.

Here`s another view of the dining room. You can see in the background shelves filled with trinkets and dishes collected over generations of our family owning the home

The kitchen provides all the modern day conveniences from oven to stove...microwave to dishwasher You`ll have plenty of room for helpers to prepare a feast

...we love to start the day with a cup of java so you can choose between the drip coffee and Keuroig coffee makers. You can also see that we have plenty of cabinet space.

All you will need is groceries You`ll feel right at home as the kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with utensils, dishes, silver & cups And we`re sticklers for cleanliness so from kitchen to bath tub you can feel confident and pleased

Oh how we love to sit out on the deck and think you will too This is typically a gathering area for us. You`ll sometime be surprised to see whales, porposes and shorebirds And in the mix ... yachts and lobster boats

Care for a leisurely swing while you enjoy the ocean breeze

On to the bedrooms: The Master Bedroom, on the first floor, has a private shower bathroom and a queen sized bed. The mattress is firm and comfortable.

Here`s one of my favorite bedrooms...located on the second floor. It offers king bed with views of the neighboring islands and the sea

...and here`s a closer look. It`s a large 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom cottage that can accomodate up to 10 guests

You can see the decor is OLD MAINE and this cozy corner by the picture window is filled with natural light and a great place to sit and enjoy company

...a family/ good friend vacation wouldn`t be fullfiling with the kids This Bedroom on second floor contains 3 single beds

...and here are private quarters on the first floor... maybe grandma or pa would enjoy some quite solitude This is such a cozy room filled with books and things we`ve collected along the way

With two and a half bathrooms this is one view of the one UP TOP

While this picture doesn`t do the bathroom justice this is an all new room with separate tub and shower and located on second floor. That is the stand up shower to the left of the tub

Here`s the half bathroom on the main floor.

From the deck you`ll be able to see Mouse Island and the entrance to Boothbay Harbor

...and this is Southport Swing Bridge bridge which is a must see because it is one of the few remaining swing bridges in the State of Maine.

The lobster industry is still one that brings people far and wide You`ll be able to see Local lobster fisherman from the house. Here`s a yellow lobster boat
